Waste gate at idle message

F-450 2011 67k miles on recent trip in western pa pulling 18k fifth wheel trailer the truck went into a limp mode where I could only go about 40mph uphill. Engine sign came on and had it diagnosed at dealer. Said it was waste gate error at idle. Took it to dealer in tn and they are replacing waste gate selinoid. On the trip this was first time I had this issue of lack of power. Anybody else experience this?
Thanks for any input,
Paul

I moved this to the 6.7 section since this is specific to that motor.
